DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] See also Figure 1-4 As shown, an automatic multi-spring preload control device includes a hydraulic stacking machine 1, a main oil cylinder 2, an auxiliary oil cylinder 3, a displacement detection device 4, a guide rod 5, a battery stack lower nut 6, a fixture connecting plate 7, a cylinder connecting plate 8, a force sensor 9, a special fixture for compression springs 10, a battery stack screw 11, a battery stack spring 12 and a mounting frame 13. The main oil cylinder 2 is installed on the top of the hydraulic stacking machine 1, and the main oil cylinder 2 can press the battery stack. The auxiliary oil cylinder 3 is installed on the top of the hydraulic stacking machine 1. There are two auxiliary oil cylinders 3, and the internal hydraulic oil circuit fluid of the hydraulic stacking machine 1 has also been specially designed to ensure that the two auxiliary oil cylinders 3 are pressed down synchronously.

[0021] The oil cylinder connecting plate 8 is rigidly connected to the auxiliary oil cylinder 3 by screws, and the oil cylinder connecting plate 8 can fix the piston rod of the auxiliary oil cylinder 3. The jig connecting plate 7 is slidably installed inside the hydraulic stacking machine 1, and the jig connecting plate 7 is located below the oil cylinder connecting plate 8. The displacement detection device 4 is connected to the top of the jig connecting plate 7 through parts, and the displacement detection device 4 can detect the formation of downward pressure. The force sensor 9 is fixed to the jig connecting plate 7 by screws, and the top of the guide rod 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the jig connecting plate 7. The guide rod 5 is used to connect the jig connecting plate 7 and the special jig for the compression spring. Tool 10, the top of the special jig 10 for compression spring is fixedly installed on the bottom of the guide rod 5, and a limiting hole is arranged at the bottom of the special jig 10 for compression spring. The mounting frame 13 is installed inside the hydraulic stacking machine 1, and the battery stack screw 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 13. The positions of the battery stack screw 11 and the limiting holes correspond one by one, which is convenient for pressing the battery stack screw 11. The battery stack spring 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the battery stack screw 11. The battery stack spring 12 can maintain pressure after being pressed into place, and the battery stack lower nut 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 13, which is convenient for fixing the position of the battery stack.

[0022] When the utility model is actually used, the battery stack is pressed and loaded by the main oil cylinder 2 on the hydraulic stacking machine 1. When the main oil cylinder 2 is pressed and loaded downward, the auxiliary oil cylinder 3 moves downward at the same time. The piston rod of the auxiliary oil cylinder 3 is rigidly connected to the cylinder connecting plate 8 by screws, which can drive the cylinder connecting plate 8 to move. The fixture connecting plate 7 is fixed to the special fixture 10 for compression springs by screws through the guide rod 5. The limiting holes set at the bottom of the special fixture 10 for compression springs correspond to the positions of the screw rods 11 for the battery stack, which is convenient for the holes of the special fixture 10 for compression springs to pass through the screw rods to pressurize the springs used on the battery stack, and maintain the pressure after reaching the set required force.

[0023] Only a small amount of force is needed at the lower end to tighten the nuts under the stack using a wrench or an electric tool. The screws on the battery stack only need to be automatically pre-pressed to solve the size of the pre-tightening force. It has fast speed and high precision. It solves the problem that when using the traditional hydraulic stacking machine 1 to press the battery stack, the screws on the battery stack need to be tightened manually or repeatedly by the machine for multiple times to complete the final tightening, which has slow speed and poor precision. Finally, the main and auxiliary cylinders 3 on the hydraulic stacking machine 1 rise, and the battery stack is moved out of the machine through the hydraulic stacking machine 1. The battery stack is manually lifted away by a crane to complete all the processes.
